4.3.6 Configuring the terminal bus
Procedure
The following steps show how to configure the terminal bus for a PCS 7 plant:
1. Rename the compatible network connection, e.g. to "terminal bus".
2. Select the "Advanced -> Advanced Settings..." command via the "terminal bus" connection
context menu in order to set the network adapters. In order to ensure fault-free
communication via the terminal bus on all nodes (e.g. OS servers, OS clients), the relevant
network card must be located in first position as regards the order in which the network
services are accessed.
3. Set the settings for the "Internet (TCP/IP)" protocol inside the network connection in
accordance with the project specifications.
4. Ensure that the energy-saving option is switched off in the network card properties.
5. Set the same work group for all PCS 7 stations where you are not using a domain structure.
